1. Upgrade MySql client:
The PHP included exhibits the 'old password' problem where the linked mysqlclient library expects pre-Mysql 4.1 style passwords. But the MySql included uses new passwords by default.

This means, among other things, that phpmyadmin fails if you set a password on the MySql admin ('root') user.

but i don't have any interests in this package, because i don't have anymore interests to puppy...

have fun...

Well, crud. I downloaded the 0.4, then saw references to 0.5, but now I'm not sure which one would be stable enough.

Actually, I was originally just looking for a mySql dotpup -- I managed to get both Kismet and gpsdrive up and running, but they only talk to each other through mySql. But after looking at what this one seems to do, I figured I'd go for it -- I've got some php code behind one of my web pages and it would be nice to test it offline instead of subjecting the entire world to "expected ;" and the rest of the habitual errors my code generates on its first try. Not that the <10 visitors a day would notice.

Any stability problems with 0.4 that would keep me from installing? Also, is any validation available that the 0.4 I downloaded matches everyone else's? There are some hackish references in the thread -- the author seems to be a white-hat good guy hacker, but sometimes the good guy is the target... I know, overly paranoid, but I love my puppy and I don't want it to get sick!

I made some changes to webenv 0.4, and call it 0.5, as it is unmaintained.

Note:
I will NOT maintain this dotpup, so feel free to modify/enhance it on your own.
I also will not answer questions concerning PHP/MySQL and such, as that was my job some years ago

I only made this change:
I installed the old webenv 0.4 in Puppy 109 to get the files in the squashfs, as I could not mount it in Puppy2. Then made a new dotpup of these extracted files.
This dotpup works in Puppy 2 ONLY, do NOT install it in Puppy 1, it could break things

It now is a "normal" program, without "inbuilt" squashfs.
It needs 15 MB.

You can start/stop the servers by typing "webenv" (or from the dotpups-menu, but then you don't see the messages).

ok, clarified
It actually only won't work in Puppy 1, as it extracts files to /etc.
As /etc is a symlink in Puppy1, that can crash Puppy 1 due to bugs in the old unionfs, when extracting archives.
This could be changed of course, there is no real need to have them in /etc.

But in Puppy1 you still can use webenv 0.4, as it is identical concerning the "features", so I saw no need to start changing the directory structure.
As the start/stop scripts of Puppy 1 and 2 differ, I prefered to make a different dotpup from scratch, to avoid potential problems.
Costal had used a quite tricky script, to go around these problems in Puppy1, but right this part (inbuilt squashfs/unionfs) I had to remove, in order to get it working in Puppy2.
